This doctoral dissertation presents a system based on augmented reality
(AR) technology for improvement of safety and efficiency at work in
industrial environments. The AR system is a solution intended to assign
work tasks to workers, provide necessary instructions for implementing
them, and issue related occupational safety instructions directly at the
workplace. At the same time, the system provides ability to record all
the issued instructions and control their proper execution. It is
formulated a model of a typical technological process broad enough
that can be applied in different industrial environments. Based on that,
the functionality and the structure of the intended AR system is
determined. A practical implementation of the system is done, and its
evaluation performed in two concrete electroenergetic industrial
environments. In these implementations different AR technologies are
used and tested. An evaluation of the proposed AR system is done, and
it is concluded that the proposed AR system improves the human
resources management and ensures performing of occupational safety
measures
